Greetings.
Are there any Capped Bust Half Variety collectors here? If so, put up an image of some of your interesting varieties. I find my 1810 O-101a PCGS XF45 my most interesting. The die cracks are amazing to me, along with the blueish toning.. what character

Hi Will,
Nice bust half!
I absolutely love capped bust halves. In my opinion they are the most beautiful silver pieces in the entire catalog of American coinage. A gorgeous obverse and a spectacular eagle on the reverse...and like you said, all of the neat die states that add to the fun. I collected them for a brief period but unfortunately my eyes were always bigger than my wallet with that series; I seemed to only really want the early dates with excellent full strikes in the very choice high-AU - UNC range. But I still love them.
Here's one that I owned a good while back. O-109a (R-4) It was an EF, had a great strike and nice color. I was very fond of it.
